Ian Watt: Hi good afternoon it's Ian Watt
in Downtown Vancouver. Lot of trouble from the Real Estate Board a
little slap on the they send me an email the other day because it
clearly states that we are not allowed to put domains in the description
or anything on our listing. I called the building ElectricAvenue.ca we
have a property for sale in the building called the Electric Avenue and I
just put .ca because the strata council post all their strata minutes,
all the documents, all their financial on their site there's a link on
it so I thought that's great. The more information the general public
knows about what they're buying the better. But they send me an email
saying we're not allowed to call even though the buildings called the
electric avenue we can't put the domain electricavenue.ca up there.
Which is kind of crazy because we want everybody to know as much as we
can. We want the real estate industry to be as transparent as possible.
But I guess the real estate were doesn't want to do that we can't put
ianwatt.ca even though on realtor.ca it has all the information about
who the listing agent is in that google. So what I did in the public
description I wrote: for all the strata documents please google
"electric avenue" that's what I did instead of putting
electricavenue.ca. Hopefully this will educate the public and tell
people where to find all the information. Hopefully the real estate
board will all have the bird and make me take it down. The general
public wants information. I'm sorry that our industry is so behind the
time as far as that's concern but who really cares it's all about
serving the general public. So if you need strata documents google the
word electric and avenue but don't google electricavenue.ca because the
real estate doesn't want me to tell you to do that. My name is Ian Watt
and if you have any questions you can always email me at ianwatt@ianwatt.ca. Thank you very much and have a great!
